The Imperial Cigarette Roller & Spirit Level
This intriguing piece is ‘The Imperial’ tubular cigarette roller and small spirit level, manufactured by George Cantuoris & Co. Crafted from brass, this dual-purpose tool reflects the ingenuity of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The roller section would have been used to create self-made cigarettes, while the integrated spirit level suggests a practical application beyond tobacco use, perhaps for ensuring accurate alignment in various tasks. Its compact size and unique combination of functions make it a fascinating example of Victorian-era craftsmanship.

This vintage cigarette roller and spirit level shows signs of age and use, with a patina developed over time. While not pristine, this adds to its character and authenticity.
